In 2003 SV had support from about 20% of the population (I refer to the second link I posted above). So 20% in the general population, 25% among journalists. Hardly anything to make a big fuss about.

Uh, the numbers I based my calculations on were from 2006 (
link). What you've basically done is to pick the one period where SV actually had major support and based your numbers on that. IIRC SV was not above 10% in any period in 2006.
EDIT: And feel free to explain why 42% of journalists would vote for AP and basically none for FRP when the voter demographics for those two parties are extremely similar in the general populace.
[/ QUOTE ] Damn. Sorry. I'm wrong here. A little peculiar that the general public have changed their minds since 2003, when the differences were not that notable, while journalists haven't.

[/ QUOTE ] Ok i looked at the poll you referred to. AP had 45% of the uneducated vote and 30% of the highly educated vote. FRP had 27% of the uneducated vote and 11% of the highly educated vote. 30/45 = 0.67 11/27 = 0.41
Age is another factor that can explain part of this. FRP has a lower portion than of their supporters than AP among people aged 22-59, and this is probably where you find the journalists [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
